Re: Michael Franti

Re: Michael Franti

Glad you liked it!  Not sure it's right but this is how I play it...

Am (532353)  C (532353)  G (632363)  D (432343)    The numbers are the strings and that's the pattern I use ,or at least I think it's the pattern I use wink It's hard to slow them down and count strings.  It doesn't match any that I have found and ,admittedly, I don't have the best ear but it sounds fairly close.... Let me know what you work out smile
